Love the food. However they have broken their connection with DoorDash and Uber Eats and haven't fixed it for several weeks. Forcing us to experiment with new restaurants so not all bad. read more

A large group of friends and family gathered at hickory tavern for a birthday. The restaurant was so accommodating to us. There was a live band so it was a little loud but the service, the food, and vibe was worth it. Can't wait to come back! read more

Sierra was the best server I have ever had. She is so friendly and makes the best recommendations. Great experience

We had to place order online for certain reason and emailed confirmation said pick up ready at 7:30 and was ready at 8:00pm. The hostess stand employee was inconsiderate towards my daughter who had to sit there for another 30 minutes. Please make better time estimate time so not sitting there waiting read more

What a great night at the Tavern for music bingo! My server Kelly was on top of several large orders but still managed to make me feel welcome. She is pleasant and professional and makes quality recommendations. The food was perfect and the ambience was awesome. Keep those kind of nights coming!! Well done! read more

Met up with a large group and we had reserved tables and two dedicated waitresses and both were absolutely amazing. I can't recall one of their name but I do remember Spencer was the other. Both ladies handled our large crowd with grace and amazing attitudes. Was my first time at this location and because of their excellent service I'd definitely go back again. I had the garlic parm wings charred, they were cooked to perfection but can't really say they had a lot of garlic flavor, least not strong like I would expect. But they had other flavors that I would go back and try. read more

Kelli was a wonderful server! The food was quick. I had a power bowl with chicken and it was excellent.

My partner and their family ordered take out for us and it was a complete mess. But once we did get the food, my nachos were one of the saddest things I've seen from a restaurant. It was missing half of its ingredients listed on the actual menu.... luckily I had things in the fridge to doctor them up to be better. But first experience with this restaurant will also be my last. read more

Came in because it was so close to my hotel and the reviews were great! I ordered the tavern burger no bun, side of broccoli! Being a Sauvignon blanc snob, I noticed the menu said the Whithaven was from California, NOT! Now, Im not saying Cali doesn't have some great wines, but leave the Sauvignon blanc to the New Zealanders! Lol!! Justine was my server and she took very good care of me! Everything I ordered was cooked to perfection, even though she never asked how I wanted my burger cooked. Strong 5 stars here, I'll be back!! read more

Great food ! Lots of screens ! Comfortable seats and awesome waitstaff makes for a great experience! I could go and on but seriously it's just a great place to watch your team and the menu is not just burgers & sandwiches. Ahi Tuna, crispy Brussels, Steaks, Cobb salads , fish tacos and more are just a few of the many delicious options available on the menu. It's definitely worth a visit! You're welcome! read more

Sierra was the best server ive ever had she gave me recommendations for drinks and food combos i wouldn't have chosen but worked out great

My server Sierra had great recommendations the food was to die for!!! Will 100% be returning to try the other dishes!

Sierra incredible service very friendly very informative and immediately a my wife, which was so nice thank a wonderful time.

Keli waited on our table. Very prompt, she kept checking to make sure we were comfortable with our meal and has a great sense of humor. She is a sure reason for us to come back. The wings were amazing and so was the service! read more

Kelli was great! Congenial, prompt and even helped me with Yelp app. Monday night burger deal is always a hit. Thanks Kelli for another great trip to Hickory Tavern read more

This visit and service was absolutely excellent and the food was AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend getting a tavern burger with either the house chips or cole slaw. When we arrived, I was worried we might be too late but, not at all! We were promptly greeted and seated eith a smile from the hostess and we met our server within 3 minutes. Sierra I, if I remember correctly, is a very kind and attentive server. She was there before we needed anything and also brought us a wonderful sweet potato treat after our meal. However, our meal was excellent! We both had tavern burgers and honestly, they're very tasty and have a rich flavor. The burgers come cooked to perfection and well dressed with the best lettus, tomatoes, pickles, and melted cheese. To be honest, this isnt the best grilled cheeseburger in Charlotte but it's very good and much better than my last review. I have been here before but this visit truly shows that restaurants can get even better with time! We loved it and this visit made such a great impression on us that we will return! I'm only giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the burger, while very good, wasn't grilled to order... meaning they don't charcoal grill burgers at different preferences such as, "medium rare." I still recommend them, if you come. read more

Such a great sport Bar! TVs all over the wall with all the Sunday football game showing. Service was quick and food was delicious. The chips and queso might actually be my favorite. read more

Was in town for a few days staying at a nearby hotel and this was close so I ended up their for dinner 2 nights in a row. The first night was very quiet and calm, the next night there was a great band. The bartenders were very attentive and nice. Food was great as well especially the chili. read more

45 minutes waiting for a drink, 20 minutes and no manager showed up, I got my own take out container. We should have stayed home and saved $80 for wings and and mediocre sandwich. Wait staff needs some major help read more

Took me awhile to write this but!! Had dinner there tonight. Service was great but the food was very disappointing. We had wing ribs and shrimp tacos. The tacos were cold ant the shrimp were a frozen pre cooked imported shrimp that had no flavor and were very chewy. The salsa was basically tomato sauce with no peppers. The ribs came out as individual ribs. Pre cooked and there were 4 of them for $19.99 with a side. We had wings with a side of celery. We asked for extra celery and they charged $3.00 and brought out 3 small stalks. Very disappointed in the food read more

Service took way to long food is not the best but the atmosphere is awesome for watching sports.

I come to this location multiple times a week and the service is hit or miss. It seems the kitchen gets super behind whether the dining room is busy or not. I enjoy 75 cent wing night on Wednesdays. My favorite sauce is their bee sting but I usually ask for extra bee sting because their wings aren't very saucy. They have great homemade ranch for dipping. I also enjoy their pretzel bites, tavern salad, grilled chicken sandwich, and cheese sticks. They have some great servers like Alex, JB, and Chloe who are very attentive and friendly. I'd honestly say their is only one bad server and as much as I want to mention her name I won't. Lots of TVS and large screens so it's a perfect place to watch a game. I've watched two Superbowls here and they do a great job with their buffet. They have recently hired two managers and things seem to be going great! read more

Awful turkey club. No pesto mayonnaise, soggy bread, fell apart, turkey was old thick and dry.... Entire sandwich was so disgusting. I will never ever go here again! read more

This is my standby restaurant when I am traveling for business in the Ballentyne area. It's walkable from the hotel, and I can always count on a delicious meal in an aesthetically pleasing environment. Waitstaff is friendly and welcoming. I love their Cedar Plank Salmon. read more

Hickory Tavern - Cedar Plank Salmon, Tavern Greens, and Sweet Potato Fries - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Sometimes I forget how good their food is at this spot... Glad I was reminded today. There's tv's everywhere playing all of the sports you want or need. You can dine outside and people watch. This is not your typical bar/pub/tavern food because you can literally get it all and today I chose their Low Country Shrimp and Grits. I promise you they are by far the best I've had, so creamy, loaded with everything and flavorful and fulfilling. My only gripe was that the Server only came to the table to take my order and then to give me my check (but of course to ask if I needed anything else. At that point I was done with my meal). read more

We came here as it was close by and it was highly recommended by our friends. I had the wings and my wife had a burger. The service was great Jordan was very attentive and answered all our question. My only reason for a 4 star is I ordered my wings charred and they were way too burnt on one side like BURNT. Other than that our experience was really great. Our waitress Jordan took care of us all! The food came out exactly how we ordered. The pretzel bites were soft and delicious. They come with a side of cheese however it's best for double dipping as the original shell is so buttery the cheese won't stick to it. We also recommend asking for a side of regular mustard. Chefs kiss!! I ordered my wings half honey bee half lemon pepper. The honey bee were burnt due to too much grill time but they were enjoyable. Next time I might just order them regular style. Do not miss out on this local spot. read more

Went to grab a late night meal, best meal I've had in Charlotte in years! Simple meal. Hot wings and tavern chips but it was sooo fresh and tasted amazing! Hard to get good food after 10. I was impressed by the food and the service. The bartender (Cierra hopefully that's how her name is spelled) was awesome! Super friendly, fast service and knew what I needed without even asking! Highly recommend this place. read more

I have not been here since 2015 or so and I do not know why!! Just stopped and had the best salad ever. Pulled blackened chicken. Lemon vinaigrette. Awesome. Wonderful server. I will definitely be back. read more

Hickory Tavern - Salad with blackened chicken - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is a sports bar through and through. Ample seating that can accommodate large families. The food definitely tastes in house made. My mozz triangles didn't taste frozen, but they did taste like fish. Maybe someone used the same flour? It happens, you know, nobody's perfect. The patrons that frequent this establishment are definitely of open palm families. So, if you're not comfortable being surrounded on all ends, you may rethink this place. The smoke house burger was great if you dont expect a temperature other than well done. Apple crunch dessert consisted of a crumble made in-house that tasted of being uncovered in someone's refrigerator overnight, topped with ice cream that comes out of a bag. But if you like your tequilas, they do have a decent selection. For a casual night with the family or just want to watch three games at once at the bar while you drown in a tequila, you probably can't pronounce cause you're too busy choking on a crispy burger. Yeah, this is the place to be. Oh yeah, to go pick up at the left side of the bar. read more

We want the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and it was on the quieter side. The 3 of us ordered burgers and they came fast! All were delicious! Kelly was our server and she was exceptional! read more

No service. Had the audacity to go un at 10 on a Saturday. No one even thought of seating us. Probably for the best. Gotta know you're taking your life in your hands when they won't even try to sell you food. You're an idiot to stay around and order when they get to you. Why don't you shut down now? read more

Just had lunch on the patio and food was great but our server Justyne was even better! Very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed! Thanks for the great experience Justyne! Ps: my favorites chicken wings! read more

Another wonderful outing with the wife. You guys continue to raise the bar. Since the remodel, the food and service has been totally great. Jeff the visiting manager was a pleasure to talk to. Our waitress Jasmine went above and beyond the call of duty. She was attentive, knowledgeable and very fast. The food continues to be top notch and hot. Thank you all for another wonderful dining experience. Have a great holiday! read more

This is my second and last visit. Food is below average- hard to screw up a Cobb salad and a Carolina Cheese steak sandwich but after a 45 minute wait it arrived. We had tow ask for utensils and were told we couldn't have a knife because a big party was using them. Took 15 minutes to get a can of PBR. It's a nice sports bar and could be better with a food and service staff upgrade. Won't be back read more
